Disney guest airlifted to ORMC to treat head injury

A man was airlifted from Disney's Magic Kingdom and taken to a local hospital Wednesday evening after falling and hitting his head on the ground, rescue officials said.

The man, who is in his 60s, was conscious and in stable condition Wednesday night, according to Bo Jones, a spokesman for the Reedy Creek Fire Department.

Jones said the man was injured as he attempted to help a child who had climbed into a planter inside the park. As he tried to help the child get out of the planter, the man lost his balance and fell, hitting his head on the ground about 7 p.m.

Jones did not detail the nature of the man's injuries but said rescuers thought it was best to get him to a hospital quickly.
